I would like to say that Yog to some capacity is a religion. Standardly religion is a set of beliefs, traditions and practices that have a spiritual impact or basis. Just like practicing a religion Yoga takes place in special places whether that be in a class at a studio or on the floor on a mat in an office. People who practice Yoga also believe that they are one their bodies and that this benefits them mentally and physically much like those who are in religious practice. Now Yoga may not be to the scale of which religion is, I don't think it would be wrong to consider yoga a religion.
Why am I here? When I'm asked this question, it makes me think about many things. For example... what purpose am I serving walking around on this Earth? On one hand I don't believe I am here to serve some greater purpose like preach the beliefs of a religion or create a movement or something drastic like that. I believe I'm supposed to live a long prosperous life, make those around me happy and work towards my goals. I do want to make the lives of animals better by pursing being a veterinarian but by no means do I plan on being a person who is talked about in the history books.
What is the meaning of life? I think this question can be answered in many different ways in which all are drastically different from each other. The meaning of Life can be as simple as living happy and dying with no regrets, you can also live by serving a greater purpose/higher being. You can follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and continue with your culture and traditions or be someone of large importance. I think for myself I believe the meaning to be a combination of many things. I think we are all born for a reason and your influence does not mean it has to be this huge historical thing, it can be very simple and grounded. But at the core of life there is meaning to everything and through time while we are here, we slowly get closer to knowing what exactly we should be doing or what makes us want to keep pushing.
